Michel Aoun, formerly an anti-Syrian general (and head of an unrecognized pro-Iraqi government during the final days of the Civil War) and now leader of the PRO-Syrian forces since returning from exile after the Syrian withdraw. I used to think him an opportunist (and he might still be) but now I see there's the possibility that he's actually a political genius. Fighting the Syrians made since from a Christian perspective in the 1990s. Now though, it's even more obvious that being aligned with Syria is what's best for Christians. Aoun was always the leading candidate. Anti-Syrian forces had wanted anyone else but couldn't find any other Christian politician (except Sethrida Geagea, who is totally unacceptable to Muslims) so they just blocked him for 2 years. Don't know why they finally gave up and decided to let him have it.
